Finding the best $1 to $2 slice in New York will most definitely be a never-ending chase with no finish line. But its always good to share the wealth on a quality find with great customer service.

During a recent longer than expected stay in the Hamilton Heights area in Harlem, the search for some cheap on-a-budget food was a must to hold us down during the extreme cold weather. So on west side of Broadway between 147th and 148th Street, there’s this charming little spot you may or may not know called Jumbo Pizza. Not only do they have your expected $2 cheese slice fix, but they have burgers, gyros, sandwiches and so much more. But by the name of the spot, you would not know that they serve breakfast all day with a great variety of omelettes. And all of it…and again we say…all of it…is affordable for the most part.

The pizza is definitely the stand out item with the anchored cheese slice at two dollars, with other ingredients and pizza types being a bit more at $3 or so. Otherwise, you have a pretty deep diner-styled menu that will keep you busy for numerous visits until you run through it all.

So next time you’re in Harlem or on the way to Washington Heights, give Jumbo some of your business and see how you like it.

NOTE:My iPhone crashed and died with all the photos of Jumbo Pizza in it, so no photos for now but this post will be updated soon as we get them retaken.

Unexpectedly, Jimmy unveiled the cover and Hannah was there to share the fun. The photo was taken at Tennessee’s Blackberry Farm. The issue is available starting the week of February 9th on newsstands everywhere. We’re not sure if they’re still together, but Derek Jeter is/was a lucky man. —–

This is a huge release, one that his whole team should be proud of as a debut single. The road wasn’t easy but Kap Slap found inspiration through the adversity he faced at a young age, Jared’s sister has cerebral palsy and mother has breast cancer. After learning the guitar, bass and drums during high school, he took his musical ear to mastering in Ableton and pumping out a huge collection of mashups and mixtapes. Now dedicating the necessary time to focus solely on his productions for the mainstage, Kap Slap is primed for a huge 2015. Although he already played Webster Hall two weeks ago, the appropriately named ‘Breakout Tour’ still has a few shows left with supporting acts Jai Wolf and Gazzo.

Fresh off of taking last year’s festival scene by storm and remixing Jack U’s first single ‘Take U There’ (heard of it?), Tchami is really making a name for himself. Join the212 later tonight at Webster Hall for a cleanse of the mind, body and soul with this priest like performer – tickets are still available here. And if you have five minutes to spare on a Friday, the track below needs to invade your eardrums immediately. The clerical religious garb is where the Tchami brand got some traction, but how did his music actually get on the map? Someone by the name of Lady Gaga enlisted his skills in multiple roles for her album Artpop, wow. Think that can’t be topped? The interwebs went crazy when the production credits for DJ Snake’s ‘Turn Down for What’ video revealed that Tchami was actually a song writer on the track, what?! There he is above, Martin Bresso. I guess it makes sense why he fails to do in-person interviews with the media, the sonic productions he creates do all the talking. From remixing Janet Jackson’s ‘Go Deep’ and topping charts in the UK with his recent smash ‘Promesses’, Tchami is primed to takeover 2015. It is definitely going to get spiritual up in Webster this week’s rendition of Girls and Boys. Not sold yet? Check out the music video below for all the vibes and feels:
